Can I read JOJOLAND even if i didn't read the previous part ?

I think you technically could but I recommend to just read/ watch everything in order, cuz why would you skip to the last part?

it's always good to watch/read everything that comes before, so I'd recommend doing it anyway

imagine reading a spinoff before any of the two characters even appear in the main series lol

i dont know what youre trying to accomplish but here comes a shocker: i recommend reading everything in order.

even though i guess its technically possible to skip to the 9th part

If you're excited to read it, just go and do it. Don't let that excitement cool off. Part 9 is completely independent and doesn't spoil anything. All it shares with previous Jojo series is an alternate version of a supporting Part 4 character.

Reading the few available chapters of Part 9 could be a nice break from the repetitiveness of around middle Part 3. But know that Part 3's ending is absolutely glorious and you should not drop it!

About SBR, you definitely need to read all previous 6 parts before it. There are many, many callbacks and references you'd miss out on. It's only Jojolands that, maybe because it's still brand new, barely has anything that requires prior Jojo knowledge or spoils previous parts. Everything else, I really do recommend reading in order.

You could buy the volumes and just save them to read later when you catch up! Enjoy Part 3, even if some episodes feel formulaic you'll definitely miss the journey after you finish.

@Cosenza I think I'll do that then. For now, I'll concentrate on my readings of Houseki No Kuni, Kokou No Hitou and Innocent and then watch Jojo's anime in parallel.

Good! TLDR: have a sneak peek of Part 9 if you want to but for everything else, read in order.

there haven’t really been any callbacks to JoJolion yet but i’m sure there will be later on since Araki likes to slowly connect things. plus, you’re doing yourself a disservice by not reading it, it’s personally my favorite part.

Everything is connected in some way , i do not recommend you to skip any part the first 6 parts is a timeline on its own and the last three is another timeline , but its still connected to each other somehow i cannot explain but to get the full experience watch it in order .

Well yes, but there's still some "references to previous characters" even tho the universe was reset by Pucci. For example there's a "Joseph Joestar" at the end of part 8, as well as Lucy from part 7.

I have read some of Jojolands also because it's still ongoing, but I'm sure Araki will put some of those "references" in it (there's Rohan from part 4), and it's always funny recognizing them. I think that's also what makes Jojo such a funny and "bizarre" adventure. 😄

But you can always read it and let us know :)

I’d recommend you start with 3 from here and just try each part out at least a little before skipping it. 9 IMO is one of the less good parts, 8 was much better this early on

If you understand what stands are and who Rohan is then you should be able to read it no problem.

its an own unique story but its still sad because you skipped the good stuff and when you completed all chapters you have to wait every month to read the next chapters

I don’t like the stand designs for the main protagonist group, they just don’t feel cool. It’s getting better but we’re on like chapter 14 and it’s only just now getting good. I think having it take place in modern day was also not very interesting.

Other than recurring characters, each JoJo part is a self contained story and this is especially true for parts 7,8 and (seemingly) 9. You can absolutely start with 9 if you wanted to, you just might not be as surprised about some stuff but it won’t detract from the story.

You can safely read the first volume without problem BUT an important callback to part 7 in part 8 was spoiling major stuff from the previous part. Right now there hasn't been any spoilers but you never know if it'll happen, when and how. Also Tonkam schedule in France sucks ass

You could but you shouldn’t because why would you? Especially since Jojo land ain’t going to be finished for YEARS so being caught up to it won’t mean much.

Basically, catch up with everything and take your time cause Jojo land is going to keep going for years

Alright, I hope you'll enjoy your reading :)
